Interactive Diaries

Italy Egypt

Interactive Dieries is intercultural articstic experimentation. Through the project, technology and art are used to encourage people, who are geographically and culturally distant, to interact and communicate. Illustration, photography and sound art replace the words, and – through their universal language – help break down walls of misunderstanding and stereotypes.

Through digital technologies, Interactive Diaries constitutes a common space for people to collaborate in real time and create a piece of art together, simultaneously, as if they were in the same room. An illustration, a photographic conversation, a sound mix. The whole collaboration is done online and anonymously to preserve a free approach to prejudices. The collaboration is based each time on different issues concerning the everyday life, like in a diary. The dialogue developed through these conversations reveal the many different but overlapping identities of each person, identities that every day collide, meet, and mingle with and through the knowledge of the “other”, of what is considered “different”. The result is a “third space”, different from each person but common to both, an interactive diary.
